The 8th installment of the Halloween series is not the low point, nor is it the high point either.

Michael Myers returns in, get this, a believable way. If you were one of the lucky folks who caught "Halloween H20" then you remember Myers getting his head chopped off by the axe weilding Laurie Strode (Michael's sister played once again by Jamie Lee Curtis).

Well the filmmakers were able to come up with a clever way to bring Michael back.

As you may or may not know Jamie Lee Curtis does come back for this installment and once again comes face to face with the mask. They duel and may have settled their differences.

The story behind "Halloween Resurrection" is a set up from Dangertainment, an internet company owned by Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks' characters. They select six college students to spend the night in the old Myers house. All of this will be broadcast live over the internet.

They are given the challenge to discover why Michael became a raving, killing lunatic.

Of course the group includes well breasted young women, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, the guy who thinks chicks dig him and the funny guy.

Once the group is in the house the mayhem begins, first with the gags and gizmos that Dangertainment put in the house to goose the kids along and then with old Michael himself.

How dare these kids enter into the domain of Michael Myers and his home. This is where he did his first killing. I mean it's like a sacred place to him. But hey anything for a buck and some of that old reality series fame.

The kids spend the time hooked up with cameras on their heads and all around the house. They think they will be famous after this. I think they will just be dead. Guess who's right.

Michael makes his way into the house and the bloodshed begins.

To me "Halloween Resurrection" is the 4th best installment in the series and is a step up from "H20".

I for one am a "Halloween" series fan and hope they continue to bring these suckers out.
